Chapter 138: Will You Worry About Me?
Yao Ran stretched out her hand toward Long Yu and said, "Let me take your pulse. I just checked Jia Xiang's and the others' conditions. Fortunately, they are all fine."
Long Yu said nothing and stretched out his wrist to let her check his pulse.
One minute later, Yao Ran retracted her hand and said, "The chill has seeped into your body. I will prepare medicine for you. You should be fine after drinking it."
Long Yu nodded, "Mhm."
Looking at his thin military coat, Yao Ran remembered that she was still wearing his fur coat and scarf. She quickly took them off and handed them back.
Before she could move her hand, Long Yu stopped her and said, "Keep it. I have more fur coats."
Yao Ran was wearing constant-temperature clothing under a thick sweater and coat. She also had a lot of winter clothes in her space, so she shook her head and wrapped the scarf around Long Yu's neck.
She frowned and said, "I have a lot of winter clothes. You should wear more. If you get sick, Shi Xuan and the others will be worried."
Long Yu let her tie the scarf for him and asked softly, "Is it just Shi Xuan and the others?"
Yao Ran didn't understand what he meant, so she raised her eyes and asked subconsciously, "What?"
Long Yu looked at her tenderly and asked again in a low voice, "If I get sick, will only Shi Xuan and the others worry about me? What about you? Will you worry about me?"
After hearing his questions, Yao Ran was stunned for a moment. She quickly handed over the fur coat and said in a panic, "I, I, I will go back and prepare medicine for you."
Without waiting for Long Yu's answer, she hurried away as if being chased by a ghost. When she got home, Yao Ran buried herself under the thick quilt. Although she has never dated anyone, she has seen Lan Lifei flirt with and date many men.
If Yao Ran had not been sure before, then after listening to Long Yu's words just now, she was sure that Long Yu had feelings for her. But he didn't make it clear, and she didn't dare to ask.
After calming down, Yao Ran sat on the bed blankly, lost in thoughts. After a long silence, she looked at her hands and remembered her previous life.
As if cold water were poured into the little spark ignited in her heart, the happy and shy feelings disappeared instantly.
She chuckled lightly, with a hint of self-loath, and whispered softly, "Living in darkness, I shouldn't yearn for light."
After calming down, Yao Ran took out a medicine pot and cooked a pack of Chinese medicine for Long Yu.
While letting the medicine simmer on the coal stove, Yao Ran took out a medical book and read it while occasionally checking over the medicine.
Twenty minutes later, the medicine was ready. She put them into a thermos bottle and sent it to Long Yu.
Seeing her calm expression when she visited him, Long Yu's eyes dimmed a bit. Although he was a little disappointed, he still smiled and thanked her for the medicine.
Yao Ran waited for him to finish the medicine before saying, "There are still a few hours until dawn. I will come back in the morning to send the medicine again. You must cover yourself with clothes when sleeping so that you can sweat out the cold."
Long Yu nodded, "Mhm, I understand."
After returning home, Yao Ran got into the warm bed and continued to sleep.
The next morning, she woke up and opened the curtains to check what was going on outside. Looking at the white scenery outside, Yao Ran frowned slightly.
The heavy snow fell from the gloomy sky, covering the cold earth with a thick layer of ice. The snow came too early. In her previous life, it snowed a month after the extreme cold arrived. Before the extreme cold arrived, the floodwater had already covered half of the 16th floor, so when the floodwater froze overnight, the 20th floor became the 4th floor from the ground. Yao Ran took out the binoculars from her space and observed the surroundings. Looking around, everything is covered with thick snow, and the silent world turns white.
Two minutes later, she saw two people walking out of Building 1. They were wearing thin coats and shivering from the cold. After leaving the apartment building, they walked two hundred meters away before squatting down on the snow.
Yao Ran watched them clear the snow, draw a circle on the thick ice, and start digging into it. The two people down there hit the thick ice a dozen times in a row, but they couldn't break it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
While she was watching the two people below struggling, heart-rending cries suddenly sounded from the silent surroundings.
Last night, the temperature dropped dramatically. Many people should have died in their sleep. Listening to the cries, Yao Ran didn't show any expressions on her face.
Hypothermia can cause people to fall into a coma from which they will never wake up if they are not warmed quickly and a heat source is found.
It's cold outside, and it's cold at home. No one dared to go out. Once outside, you will get frostbite. People with thin clothing will suffer from hypothermia and freeze to death on the
spot.
She watched the two people from Building 1 struggle for a while before returning to Building 1 while shivering and slipping from time to time. Seeing that they finally gave up, Yao Ran closed the curtains and flashed into her space.
After taking a bath, she put on constant-temperature clothing, a set of winter clothing on top of it, and then a thick winter coat, gloves, socks, winter boots, and earmuffs. After getting ready, Yao Ran left the space and appeared in her bedroom.
When the weather is cold, people like to eat spicy food and meat.
